This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client installed WPML and selected automatic translation with the option to review before publishing. However, they were not satisfied with the quality of some translations and attempted to manually edit them. Despite saving changes, an orange bar appeared indicating the translation was not finished. Various troubleshooting steps, including restarting the plugin and deleting translated pages, did not resolve the issue. After reconfiguring WPML in manual mode, only one page was successfully translated, and others were not editable.
Solution:
We advised the client to reinstall the WPML plugin and activate it. They should then proceed with the WPML setup at their WPML account dashboard and generate a sitekey to activate the plugin. For issues with saving edited translations, we provided a screen recording demonstrating how to properly save changes. If automatic translation does not fully cover sections created with third-party modules in Elementor, it is necessary to register these modules for translation as explained in our documentation: Registering Custom Elementor Widgets for Translation.

Hello,

Thank you for your response. Please note that our support policy limits us to addressing one issue per ticket. This approach helps our support team concentrate on each issue effectively and allows other users to quickly find solutions to their own questions.

I will review your points and split the ticket where needed.

1. I've managed to translate all pages (100% complete), they are all set as PUBLISHED.
Could you confirm that this issue is fixed?

2. I did translate the menu, yet it is not showing up in Polish version.
I can see the missing menu on the Polish page even after translation and I've split the ticket here https://wpml.org/forums/topic/navigation-menu-not-showing-up-on-translated-page/ for a follow up

3. Pages: HOME, MOULD MAKING (under roto1stop), OUR QUALITY and CONTACT are the ones that show Polish version (after manually clicking on the Polish flag). It seems like the rest of the are not linked or not converting (after clicking on the flag it shows the English version).
I DID run "Translate Link Targets" and Menu Synch with no success.
When you're translating a page, links must be manually translated as explained here https://wpml.org/zh-hans/announcements/2020/02/translating-links-with-advanced-translation-editor/ . Could you give this another try and let me know how it goes?

4. In Polish HOMEpage, the HOME (house icon) button on the right (sticky menu, over the green phone icon) redirects to English HOME, is it possible to set it to Polish HOMEpage?
Looks like this is "Floating Menu", I've split the ticket here https://wpml.org/forums/topic/translating-a-floating-menu-link/ for a follow up.

5. Also, I just checked and the translations in the WPML are correct, yet on published sites of WP are the "old" translations.
That sentence you highlighted looks correct when I checked here hidden link . Did I oversee something? Or are you referring to the header title "engineered form excellence" not translated in Polish page?
